@Shadx: omg, 'hot rod'... you totally just reminded me of Super Troopers! love that movie, but you gotta catch it uncut... actually, most of these movies you've gotta see uncut to fully appreciate them. movies edited for TV lose like half their funny.

@irken004: i really hated Tropic Thunder for some reason, lol. to each his own, i guess. :3

anyway, as for funniest... Robin Hood: Men in Tights is good stuff, i've still got most of that movie's dialogue memorized. As for newer films, Kung Fu Hustle is freaking hilarious.

My wife told me I don't have the guts to wear this shirt out in public, but I'm going to prove her wrong later when we go to dinner.

@Adam: they did look really simple compared to other PSX games (or at least the first one did; i remember i was not interested in playing MML at all, but my then-boyfriend said it was a good game, so i gave it a shot), but i really had a lot of fun playing them.

@Sean: i know I go through the actual reviews... the score is handy (and hilarious) at times, but ultimately it's the reviews that really matter, and Metacritic brings a big chunk of them into one place for easy browsing.

@slapshot82: i remember when i finally got my DS Lite that was one of the games I was looking to buy, and by that time it was no longer on shelves. i don't understand why Nintendo stopped printing it so quickly; it wasn't even out for a year before it was gone.

@Prosody: Game values are weird. For me, their true value is in the playing (i don't give a rat's behind about collecting), and I'm all about being able to play them at a reasonable price, which was why i brought up re-releases. Pirating games like Chrono Trigger and/or Final Fantasy IV would be something I would not advocate, for example, because they're currently in print and you can also find authentic secondhand copies on eBay for at or below what they went for at retail (I saw a couple copies of Final Fantasy Chronicles GH for $25ish buy-it-now with free shipping, so the extra $5 would cover tax and the gas it would take to get to the store and back IMO).

@Swerd_Murd: holy crap, do you ever have good gaming luck! may it never run out on you.

I can't see how buying a pirate copy cheaper is more acceptable than buying a genuine second hand copy. If a game is out of print or hard to find, of course its price is going to increase! And people complain about games not having "true value".

i'm thinking in terms of games that have seen no re-release since it originally came out and where the price of a real secondhand copy may be absolutely outrageous, like Earthbound and Suikoden II (the latter will likely be re-released eventually on the PSN, but who knows when). If I can't shell out the $100 that someone wants for an Earthbound cartridge when at release it was probably $60 or so, should I really be barred from downloading and playing it via emulator until NoJ gets their heads out of their butts and allows the changes necessary for its VC release? or how about $120 for Suikoden II when it was originally about $50-60 as well? It's such an awesome game that it kills me to think people might not be playing it just because it had a limited printing and other people want to cash in.

that sounds like it'd be pretty awesome, but (a) it would have to be a clear enough picture for the plant/animal to stand out (no moving, lol) and (b) the plant/animal would have to be in front of a high-contrast background and in good lighting. i can see there being problems, especially with the quality of the DSi's cameras, and this turning out to be a very limited-use app.

They really haven't had anything that obnoxious on this site, and they're respective of their readers so they'll remove anything that gets complaints. I do sympathize with having an older computer around that can't browse quickly with all the flash ads popping up everywhere, as I've kept plenty of old machines around well past their time, so I get the point of using Adblock in general, but I still feel that one shouldn't be proudly declaring their use of it as if there is no significant drawback for the site's owners. If possible, only use Adblock on sites that are more irritating with their ads, but keep it off if you want to make a tiny contribution based on your frequent browsing of the blog.

is there some way to allow ads to show up on one site in particular via Adblock, though? all I've seen it do is block ads by where the ads themselves are loaded from (not by the website featuring them), and i'm not about to go back through and allow those particular offsite providers just so I can support NL with their relatively inoffensive ads and then go back to a different site i maybe frequent and get pounded by their allowing more annoying/offensive ads from the same offsite providers.

some of the most annoying i have come into contact with were on AOL.com... those were the kind that expanded to cover the entire center of the page, and wouldn't retract so that I could click the links I wanted to click. so freaking annoying. D: FanFiction.net and MySpace both had/have the kind that involve sound; those freaked me the hell out because i was never expecting them. ugh.

for blogs that you enjoy and would presumably like to support, is it really such a pain to have a couple ads appear at the top?

i can't tell you how many times i've clicked on the wrong thing on accident, had an ad insinuate itself over a link I wanted to click, or had a popup ad enlarge itself to the point where it slowed Firefox to a crawl for me (the computer i'm on is kinda old) or froze it entirely. if ads weren't so annoying or 'such a pain' to deal with, ad-blocking software wouldn't exist.

if I buy something, i want to know for sure that i will be able to run what i want on it.

I don't think hackers and emulators are their target audience.

i realize that, but since the only reason I wanted one was because I'd like a portable way to play all the old games I've got sitting in a CD case under an inch of dust, i figured it bore mentioning.

as a DSi owner, the only reason I have considered the eventual purchase of a PSP is the fact that it can emulate PSX games. the mess of different firmware editions and reported unhackable PSPs have given me cause for concern, though... if I buy something, i want to know for sure that i will be able to run what i want on it.

It would seem that he's hanging out with Master Shake. The real Master Shake. We might as well all say goodbye to him now, he's reached far beyond our social stratum.

oh yeah... didn't he mention in a thread (the Iwata or the Miyamoto one in General Discussion?) something about a convention in Miami? sounds like he actually went, lol.
